Fly Changelog for 29th May

Summary

This Fly Changelog records significant changes to the Fly platform, tooling, and websites for the week of 29 May 2020. flyctl 0.0.124 adds apps pause and apps resume commands, which remove all running instances or start one running instance, respectively; regions set replaces the regions in a region pool list; and -v/--verbose provides more detailed command output. The release also improves flyctl apps list by displaying each application's status, while the Deno Buildpack supports unstable Deno builds when an .unstable directory is added to the application directory. Earlier in the month, flyctl 0.0.123 introduced open, which finds a deployed application's hostname and instructs a web browser to open it.
